Sound Control Technologies RC-RKC – Rack Shelf for Codec and One SCT Module

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC-RKC is a dual-RU rack shelf that mounts one small form factor video conferencing codec and one SCT head-end module in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. It supports codecs such as the Cisco SX20, Poly Group Series 300 and 500, and Radvision XT5000 paired with an RC4-HE, RC5-HE, RCU2-HE, RC-Scaler, or RS-SDA module. For single-room conference room installations, the RC-RKC gives the codec and camera extension head end a clean, serviceable rack-mount home.

Product Description

The RC-RKC addresses a common integration problem: small form factor codecs ship without rack ears, leaving them loose on shelves or stacked on other gear. This purpose-built shelf secures the codec next to a single SCT head-end module so the entire room head end occupies one tidy two-rack-unit position.

The 12-inch deep shelf accommodates two power supplies — one for the codec and one for the module — while leaving the rear of both devices accessible for cabling. That rear access matters during commissioning and later service calls, when HDMI, network, and control connections need to be traced or changed without pulling the shelf. The RC-RKC pairs naturally with SCT RemoteCam extension kits that place the camera up to 100 meters from the rack. Rooms with more modules can step up to the RC-RK2 rack shelf or the universal RC-RKM.

Key Features

• Codec Plus Module Mounting — Secures one small form factor codec and one SCT head-end module in a single shelf assembly.
• Multi-Vendor Codec Support — Fits the Cisco SX20, Poly Group Series 300/500, and Radvision XT5000 codecs.
• SCT Module Compatibility — Accepts RC4-HE, RC5-HE, RCU2-HE, RC-Scaler, or RS-SDA head-end modules.
• Dual-RU Rack Footprint — Occupies two rack units in any standard 19-inch AV or IT equipment rack.
• Power Supply Capacity — The 12-inch deep shelf holds two power supplies so wall warts stay off the rack floor.
• Rear Cable Access — Open rear clearance keeps codec and module connections serviceable after installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference room and boardroom racks built around a single small form factor codec
• Huddle room and multi-purpose room head ends using one SCT camera extension module
• Government and commercial meeting spaces requiring secured, rack-mounted codec hardware

Frequently Asked Questions

Which codecs fit the RC-RKC?
The shelf is designed for small form factor codecs including the Cisco SX20, Poly Group Series 300 and 500, and Radvision XT5000.

How does the RC-RKC differ from the RC-RKM?
The RC-RKC holds one codec and one SCT module, while the RC-RKM is a universal shelf for larger codecs such as the Cisco Codec Plus or Poly G7500 with multiple modules.

Does it hold the power supplies too?
Yes. The 12-inch deep shelf accommodates two power supplies, keeping power bricks secured on the shelf rather than loose in the rack.

Can I service cabling without removing the shelf?
Yes. Rear access to the codec and module is preserved for clean cabling and later changes.
